Abstract:

[Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] botanical name of peach is one of the most important temperate stone fruit belong to the family Rosaceae and sub family Prunoidae. Five peach cultivars viz; Shan-e-Punjab, Florda Prince, Pratap, Early Grand, Prabhat, were cultivated for evaluation purposes to come up with a suitable cultivar for commercial production under agro-climatic zone of Bihar, India. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 4 replications at Bihar Agricultural College Sabour, Bhagalpur in the year 2018-19. The result revealed that the early bearing cultivars were Pratap, Prabhat and Florda prince gave potential yield on 1st week of April. Duration of flowering was varied from (40 to 49 days), Maximum duration of flowering was seen in Shan- e-Punjab (49 days) and minimum duration of flowering was seen in Early Grand (40 days).

Maximum fruit length was attained in Shan-e-Punjab (5.51cm)^â€‘ however the minimum fruit length was attained in Early grand (4.83cm).Maximum Fruit volume was seen in Shan-e- Punjab (55.20cc) and minimum fruit volume was seen in Early Grand (35.40cc).maximum fruit weight (58.59g), stone weight 5.77g) was found in Shan-e-Punjab. From the present study it is concluded that was the best performer Shan-e-Punjab followed by Prabhat under agro-climatic condition of Bihar. It was also revealed that are evitable microclimate was required for optimum plant growth, higher crop yield and best quality fruits.
